Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what steps her Department has taken to help increase exports to China in the last two years.

The Government is committed to driving forward export growth, helping UK businesses export to markets across the globe including China. UK exports to China amounted to £37.5 billion in the 12 months to September 2023, an increase of 11.9% or £4.0 billion in current prices compared to the previous 12 months, making China the UK's 6th largest export market.
